This article discusses the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurodevelopmental disorders that may be confused with or co-occur with ASD. Practitioners involved in diagnostic assessment of ASD must be well versed in the features that differentiate ASD from other conditions and be familiar with how co-occurring conditions may manifest in the context of ASD. ASD symptoms present differently across development, underscoring the need for training about typical developmental expectations for youth. Periodic reevaluations throughout development are also important because support needs for individuals with autism change over time.
本文讨论了自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的诊断标准,以及其他可能与ASD混淆或同时出现的神经发育障碍。参与ASD诊断评估的从业者必须精通将ASD与其他病症区分开来的特征,并熟悉共病情况在ASD背景下可能如何表现。ASD症状在整个发育过程中表现不同,这突出了对青少年典型发育预期进行培训的必要性。在整个发育过程中定期重新评估也很重要,因为自闭症患者的支持需求会随着时间而变化。
